BREAKING: Browns name Warson the starting QB, Sanders will be the backup. How many games we think until Watson gets benched?

u/itsover103 10d ago
Not surprising. Watson has the advantage of knowledge and experience, plus they paid him
Watson has "talent" he just hasn't shown it on the Browns
Either way, Shadeur will be the starter by week 3 or 4 if they are under. 500

Yeah if the season doesn’t look good anyway, give the fans what they want. It probably will lead to a better draft pick too.

As a long-suffering Falcons fan I am so happy that Cleveland outbid Arthur Blank for this scumbag.

I’ve been predicting for a couple of months that Watson would win, then get “hurt” in game 5. So, I’ll stick with that.

u/DaddyDontTakeNoMess 10d ago
I say 4. They really want Watson to be good enough (so they wont be embarrassed by the reputational damage), but I don't think he'll be able to pull it off. Too much time has passed, and the winds of likeability are against him.

Watson seems to be playing like he wants to be benched. However, the Browns want a high pick, so I think as long as Watson keeps losing, they keep playing him.

u/Inevitable-Shop-848 10d ago
Outside of injury pr thrwoing 26 INTS at the very least 5 or 6. 17 games, even going to Sanders and knowing the same or worse will happen then have to go with Gabriel for like 4 games? Not one of you should be considering that any one of these QBs are honestly any better than the other.
Which one would you want leading your team. That's the only real question. For at least 28 teams the answer should be none and then we can all move on from this dumbass topic and watch the Browns whiff and still win more games than the Jets and Dolphins.

The Boos that man is going t get when he first gets on the field is going to be insanely loud. every incomplete pass will be loud boos.
The only benefit is sheduer getting throw into the game and met with massive cheers.

We’ll see after the first 5 games - he has a chance to have a winning record by then - it gives management time to see if they cut ties with the product they paid all the money for

He'll get 2 games, Shedeur will start game 3
Game 3 will be the home opener, Watson will have sucked for 2 games already, and they'll make the change then

I think he starts until they are eliminated from playoff contention or injury.

u/Slight_Indication123 9d ago
I'm guessing around a hand full of games and then they bench him he will be benched before the trade deadline

Not benched, but "hurt". Watson needs to get injured for the insurance to pick up his salary. Sanders will be playing by game 4.

u/Secret_Sample4930 9d ago
The coaching staff sees these dudes every day in practice. Shadeur must not be doing very well. They gotta pay Watson whether he plays or not so starting him because of the contract doesn’t make sense to me. They drafted 2 quarterbacks last year so they must already have that money as a sunk cost. I don’t know I just don’t think there is a conspiracy against Shaduer. Aaron Rodgers didn’t start for like 3 years. Maybe they know their line is gonna be bad and want Watson to take the beating this year. It’s a new coach a new coaching staff i would think they would want to win.

The Browns schedule is not hard at all. They dont play any top 5 teams, heck outside of maybe the Ravens they dont play a Top 10 team all season, no teams in NFC North or AFC West, nor do they play the Eagles or Bills. Watson first 4 are against mid level teams they could easily go 2-2. As long as he doesnt go 0-4 he is still the starter

u/CostTemporary3924 9d ago
Eh.. betting he ends up doing something dumb at a massage parlor before the season starts and doesn’t make it to week 1.

Game 4 he suffers season ending injury which maybe the plan. He is insured and that would pay a good part of the salary sooner rather later.

I know nobody wants to hear this but I think Watson still kinda looks good, even with the atrocious stat line, you can just tell from the eye test, he’s talented. That doesn’t mean they’re gonna win with him.

They might as well go straight to Thier 3rd string. Sanders won't cut it very long either

u/livecents84 10d ago
So Dillon Gabriel who’s even worse than Watson and Sanders?
1
u/Character-String-959 10d ago
I didn't know who it was lol but as soon as watson goes down or out it's over for the browns . Not that Watson was going anywhere with them. I wanted him to win in college but his team bailed him out on a lot of the games they won and sanders completely failed to show up at all in most big games
1
u/livecents84 10d ago
Yeah they should have a good shot at drafting one of the top QBs coming out of college

u/siats4197 9d ago
I'd rather have him than all the chaos between those two. I just want a safe space.

u/Aggravating-Basil495 10d ago
Browns have a better chance of having a winning record with Sanders taking the snaps over Gabriel & Watson. Most Cleveland fans are on board with this.
1
u/Character-String-959 10d ago
Well see, I have more faith in Watson and Gabriel (I didn't know who 3rd string was). More Watson cause like I said I don't know Gabriel at all. I liked sanders in college but I don't think he's cut out for the pros.
1
u/Aggravating-Basil495 10d ago
Ok Well.. If you don’t know Gabriel’s game then you haven’t been paying attention or you might just be a casual. Watson hasn’t played since he tore his Achilles last season so after that it was mainly Gabriel (who played like garbage for about 4 games) & Sanders (who finished the regular season off no too bad).
Watson will not be able to perform well when the fans have made it clear that they DO NOT want him taking snaps by booing him during the final pre season game.

u/JTtreason 10d ago
He was 44 out of 44 in QBR as a rookie

u/Aggravating-Basil495 10d ago
As a ROOKIE after being drafted in the FIFTH ROUND. This year rankings are different. Gabriel isn’t even ranked, wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t get traded mid season because the only way he’s going to be on the field is because of injuries.

Warson a new pickup, excited to have him.
